I've got to admit that I did not predict the batshit lunatic president would have blathered the phrase "shooting down flying gunboats"

Trump's latest attempt to distract from his COVID-19 response failure.

@realDonaldTrump
I have instructed the United States Navy to shoot down and destroy any and all Iranian gunboats if they harass our ships at sea.

Perfectly correct use.

A gunfighter is shot down on the street, and the same lingo works for this.

Elkin has let hatred make him deranged.

[sillydaddy]

Of course, the message is meant for Iran...
But I'm not surprised liberals like Elk feel they have to defend them against the US President even if it just the wording of the message.

I'm wondering if there some way that would allow Trumpers to continue being a bunch of jackasses, without putting the rest of our lives in danger?

This level of idiocy is clearly unfixable.

And I suppose the Iranians are quaking in their boots....

"A gunfighter is shot down on the street, and the same lingo works for this."-johnfibs

johnny, you really need to sign up for remedial English classes with RealTool.

That is not at all the same thing. A gunfighter is standing up and then is shot and killed and he falls down.

Thus, he has been "shot down" from a standing position.

But a boat floats on water, and when it is shot, it just keeps floating. It doesn't fall down so it obviously isn't "shot down" is it.

Unless you're saying Trump was ordering all Iranian gunboats to be sunk. Is that what you're saying Trump meant? Sink them all for "harassment"?

johnforbes really needs to learn about the JCS Rules of Engagement that say a response must be appropriate to the level of threat. Since johnforbes faked being in the military, it's understandable that he would be unaware of this military command policy.

[RealJustme]

And I suppose the Iranians are quaking in their boots....

Rest assured, they got the message and now know, our Navy has been given the greenlight to light them up!

[johnforbes]

A boat shot down does not continue to float. It sinks.

I was not in the Navy, but Clownslacker's only sailing experience came watching "Gilligan's Island."

Planes are shot down, and a gunfighter is shot down in the street in a western flick.

In his dismal Frisco tenure, Clownswisher went down many times...

[Clownkicker]

johnforbes is obviously proud of his complete ignorance of the JCS Rules of Engagement.

He came back with a bunch of nonsense instead of discussing relevant points about the JCS ROE which do not allow sinking boats for "harrassing" a ship.

johnforbes has let us know he (as a typical Trump supporter) supports Trump's violations of military law.

Republicans really are ALL against the rule of law.

[sillydaddy]

It doesn't matter if Clown and Elk are brain damaged retards...

It only matters that Iran gets the message ....
The President is not telling the Navy to change standing orders..he added another option...

[RealJustme]

johnforbes is obviously proud of his complete ignorance of the JCS Rules of Engagement.

Why would the old JCS rule of engagement matter in this case? The Commander in Chief just provided Navy commanders the rules for use of force. If they approach in an harassing manner "fire their asses up" The Commander in Chief just defined the new JCS rules of engagement.

Iran understands that.

[Clownkicker]

"Why would the old JCS rule of engagement matter in this case?"-RealSimpleton

Because the Rules of Engagement MUST comply with international law, dummy. And international law does not allow a disproportional responses like sinking a boat for driving across your bow at 50 yards.

If Trump is ignoring international law, then he is making the U.S. an outlaw and all our alliances are forfeit.

To put it in terms even a moron like you should understand-- we will have no friends anywhere in the world.

And that includes his pals in North Korea, Russia, and the Philippines, where Trump licks their boots so that they will condescend to smile at him.

[johnforbes]

Who really cares about those rules?

The Iranians were tugging on Superman's cape.

[RealJustme]

Because the Rules of Engagement MUST comply with international law, dummy. And international law does not allow a disproportional responses like sinking a boat for driving across your bow at 50 yards.

You don't spit into the wind

[Clownkicker]

"Who really cares about those rules?"-johnflubs

"You don't spit into the wind"-RealTool

^^^^^^ These are examples of typical Republicans. They whine and mewl about what a big deal law and order is to get elected, but then spit on their constituents when actually confronted with a situation calling for law and order.

The only thing Trump supporters understand is mob lynchings to get their way. "Fuck law and order." "Fuck Miranda rights." "Fuck due process." "Fuck international law." THAT is your typical hypocritical conservative in a nutshell. Their only defense for flipping the bird at law and order? A Jim Croce pop song.

[johnforbes]

Iranian terrorists are not my constituents.

Being a pleasant person, I'd fire a few warning round first

[Clownkicker]

And yet Trump just said he wouldn't.

What does that tell you about how "pleasant" he is, johnny.

[johnforbes]

I'm sunk for an answer.

Sad that Clown would sink to this depth, and merely be treading water,

[RealJustme]

And yet Trump just said he wouldn't

Fake news!

[Clownkicker]

When faced with difficult political and existential questions, johnforbes ALWAYS ends up doing a belly flop.

[Clownkicker]

"And yet Trump just said he wouldn't"[fire warning shots for harrassing behavior]
"Fake news!"_RealStool

"If they approach in an harassing manner "fire their asses up" The Commander in Chief just defined the new JCS rules of engagement."-RealTool

^^^^^^ You just said it yourself, dimwit.

You're actually calling your own post "Fake news!" you moron.

[RealJustme]

Where does he say he warning shots shouldn't be fired?

[RealJustme]

Clown and Elk once again busted with fake news.

[Clownkicker]

"Where does he say he warning shots shouldn't be fired?"-RealTool

YOU said it, dimwit. You just said you posted "Fake news!"



RealTool was once again busted with fake news.

[RealJustme]

Clown, you are one silly goose.

[Clownkicker]

It's pretty silly of you not to stand behind the things you post, Tool.

It makes you look like nothing more than a dishonest, ignorant, ass-kissing, partisan Trump supporter.

No offense.

[RealJustme]

It's pretty silly of you not to stand behind the things you post, Tool.

I have, as you've learned over the years, I call it right every time. That's because my education and experience allows me to make informed and accurate posts. You on the other hand act upon emotions and get bitch slapped every time.

[Clownkicker]

"If they approach in an harassing manner "fire their asses up" The Commander in Chief just defined the new JCS rules of engagement."-RealTool

^^^^^^^ RealTool is so stupid that he doesn't even understand what he posted. He doesn't even get that he has been bitch slapped....by his own post.

[johnforbes]

If the Iranians are smart, they got the message.

If not, they might remember one military slogan: "Mess with the Best, Die like the Rest."

[elklindo69]

Yeah Johnnie.....those Iranians are quaking in their boots as they swarm around US Navy ships while Trump orders them to do nothing...........

[johnforbes]

Sensible people become very polite around heavily armed military people.

Of course, the Iranians may not be sensible.

[RealJustme]

"If they approach in an harassing manner "fire their asses up" The Commander in Chief just defined the new JCS rules of engagement."-

What's unclear about that?

[Clownkicker]

There's nothing unclear about that at all, dimwit.

It clearly says NOTHING about firing warning shots first, does it. So you just said Trump told the Navy to sink boats for harassing behavior.

You called your own post "Fake news!" you imbecile.

[sillydaddy]

Clown, like all liberals, has a problem when it comes to the defense of our country...

[Clownkicker]

"...the defense of our country..."-sillydummy

Somewhere in the typical conservative mind, ignorant clowns like sillydummy believe that the Strait of Hormuz in is the United States...
